Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Men (LUTS)

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) are a group of symptoms affecting bladder storage and emptying. These include urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia (waking at night to urinate), hesitancy, and weak stream.

LUTS are common in men, particularly with increasing age, and are often associated with prostate enlargement, although other causes may include bladder dysfunction or neurological conditions.

Our clinic provides a thorough assessment to determine the underlying cause. This may involve urine testing, prostate assessment, bladder scans, and flow rate measurements.

Treatment is tailored to the individual and may include lifestyle changes, medication, bladder training, or surgical intervention where appropriate. Effective management of LUTS can significantly improve quality of life and sleep.
